Perfect! Fixed my interface.
The only thing I would like to see is a 48px version of SaboFX's toolbar icons as I have been using those for years and have become used to them.

there is a 48px icon set but it is the office style. You can always create your own skin, even bigger, following the instructions here

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but I'm testing a 4K monitor alongside my standard 1080p monitor, and I'm having some stark issues, on both monitors.

I'll read through everything linked here and in other places and try to get it all working - but if I can't , I'll be back with pics showing the discrepancies.

One note - for use with multiple monitors of differing DPI, installation with the Multi-monitor manifest should be enabled, correct?

Thanks to @Nikos for this blog - for the first time in a very, very long time I'm using monitors with different resolutions and DPI scaling, and this blog hit spot on every issue I was having.

Now, my X looks like it should again.

multimonitor function is a mystery, some people find ticking the multimonitor manifest (during installation) an improvement, others find it better without it. If al fails you can start tweaking the windows display compatibility available when you right click to tweak the properties of xplorer2 desktop shortcut icon

That helps tremendously - I can stop using a 15pt font now.

Thanks!
